Owner Comments:

The El Yunque National Forest Quarter was released on January 23, 2012 as the eleventh coin in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program.

The El Yunque National Forest, located in Puerto Rico, was officially established on January 17, 1903 and is the only tropical rain forest in the National Forest System. As described on the U.S. Mint site, the reverse design depicts a Coqui tree frog sitting on a leaf and a Puerto Rican parrot behind an epiphyte plant with tropical flora in the background. The Puerto Rican parrot is a highly endangered species unique to Puerto Rico, and its recovery began with the few birds left in El Yunque.
